The Value of Word Studies

When I mentioned Philippians 4:19, I mentioned having done a word study, my first word study focused on the Greek language.

What's the value of a word study? Should it be how people study Scripture?

Well... my thought is that word studies are a useful tool, but that this tool should be one among many. You shouldn't feel you have to rely on word studies to learn God's Will.

In fact, I'll go one further: if a word study is required to understand a passage, then you're being informed incorrectly.
